Today, at the crime scene, where #TFG incited his followers, the insurrectionists, to attack the Capitol on #J6, in a failed coup attempt, that led to severe injuries, deaths & carnage, Republican Senators applauded their presidential nominee, a #convictedfelon, #TFG. They’re shameless sycophants. #GOPTraitors

Rs use racism, lies, disinfo... to divide the nation. It's doubtful this anti #DEI leg. will pass, but it's concerning:

Congressional Republicans have introduced a bill that'd ax all DEI positions in the fed govt & bar fed contractors from requiring DEI statements & training sessions.

It'd also ban DEI requirements in accreditation. New leg. would shutter govt DEI offices & ban fed contractors from mandating DEI statements or trainings.

It's wonderful that the hostages were freed, but why was there no effort to protect civilians?

Largest hostage rescue op. since the latest war began, taking 4 to safety out of central Gaza amid the MIL’s heavy air & ground assault. At least 94 dead Palestinians,💔incl. children, were brought to local hospitals.

Israelis were jubilant as the army said it freed N Argamani, 25; A Meir Jan, 21; A Kozlov, 27; & S Ziv, 40 -all were well.

🚨Pressure is mounting on IL:

>36K #Palestinians killed +face widespread hunger bc fighting & Israeli restrictions have largely cut off the flow of aid. On Thurs, an Israeli airstrike hit a U.N.-run school compound -killing over 33 ppl inside the school, including 3 women & 9 children. IL said some 30 militants were inside & on Fri released the names of 17 -said were killed. Only 9 of those matched records from the hospital morgue. One was an 8-year-old boy.

Swift is contributing to the spread of #Covid. She missed an opportunity to not sicken her fans. She could've had cute 'Swifty' masks made, & included them in the ticket price. She's a billionaire. Studies show, masking at superspreader events slows the spread of Covid.

More than just the music was viral as Swift concerts in Madrid and Paris ended with thousands of fans ill with Covid.

#WarCrimes & #IHL violations:

"IL MIL made improper use of a US-made bomb in a deadly airstrike Thurs on a UN school compound in Gaza -current & fmr US DEF officials. The GBU-39 small-diameter bomb *same kind of bomb that IL used in an airstrike last month that killed dozens of displaced civilians at a tent camp -#Netanyahu called a “tragic mishap.”

The Supreme Court is compromised. It's likely there'll be no 'fixes' unless Dems win a trifecta:

"It pays to be Justice Clarence Thomas. New data from @FixTheCourt on the value of gifts justices received & reported over the past two decades."
-S Mazie

"It's embarrassing that this revelation is coming from a lean nonprofit rather than a thorough investigation led by the Senate Judiciary Committee."

It's as if #TFG is president, given the current #nationalsecurity threats. These two Reps shouldn't have been able to run for reelection, they & #MAGAMike were part of the sedition caucus. The DOJ hasn't held them accountable for their actions.

SOH Johnson has named Reps Scott Perry & Ronny Jackson to the House Intel. CMTE.

The Intel CMTE oversees the entire intelligence community & gets some of the most sensitive intelligence about the US & its allies.

#TFG is like Hitler.

De Berg quotes George Burns: “The most important thing in acting is honesty. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.” Both: pol performance artists -speak only vaguely about policies. “Extremist statements -meant to provoke a reaction -get them into the press. Concept of the #BigLie is that if an untruth is sufficiently extreme, ppl likely to accept it if only bc they cannot bring themselves to believe that anyone could lie in such an outrageous-." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jun/03/donald-trump-hitler-similarities

Sinister attacks on faith-based orgs. that care for desperate #migrants are despicable:

Faith-based orgs. have played a crucial role helping fed auths./local govts manage influxes of migrants. Their work has been funded with bipartisan support in Congress, even through #TFG's term *often vilified #immigrants. After Pres Biden took office promising: >humane approach, these grps have⬆️become subjects of baseless conspiracy theories & targets for far-right activists & R MOC. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/02/us/migrants-charities-shelters-threats.html?unlocked_article_code=1.wk0.kA2N.5v3lfc98wTEQ&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&u2g=c

#BirdFlu: Pasteurization has worked agst #H5N1. But there're many other concerns:

Dept of AG has only confirmed infections of 33 herds in 9 states -not given any details about the ops. on which infected animals were found.

USDA: admitted some farmers have been REFUSING TO TEST THEIR ANIMALS -analysis of the genetic sequences of viruses retrieved from cows comb. with evidence of H5N1 RNA in commercial milk found in US markets -FDA: ~1 in 5 samples tested for H5N: pos-.

#BirdFlu🚨:

The sick cows tended to produce milk that didn’t look quite right, & had mastitis, an inflammation of the udders.

She said, dairy workers -incl. those who were never in close contact with the sick cows -also fell ill.

“Ppl had some classic flu-like symptoms, incl. high fever, sweating at night, chills, lower back pain & upset stomach, vomiting & diarrhea -also tended to have “pretty severe conjunctivitis & swelling of their eyelids" *never tested for #H5N1.

😷Masks have been found to be very protective against the virus that causes #Covid, esp. N95:

N95 masks are most effective at slashing the amount emitted by infected people, acc to a new Univ. of MD-led study.

"Duckbill” N95 masks scored highest in the study *measured the exhaled breath of participants who were tested both masked & unmasked to measure comparative outputs of SARS-CoV-2. The inexpensive masks, which have 2 head strps -captured 98% of exhaled virus.

I don’t agree with Murkowski’s view of Pres Biden or his record, but she is the first US Senator or Rep to infer that #TFG shouldn’t be the GOP Presidential nominee:

Racism prevails in red🩸states. Florida is frequently ground zero for RW culture wars, book bans & abhorrent new laws that target POC, immigrants & the vulnerable:

Florida K-12 curriculum still will say Black people gained 'personal benefit' from slavery.

'We didn’t accept it then, we’re not going to accept it now,' one state legislator said.

GOP SCJs continue to taint the SC:

"Thornell v. Jones: 6–3 opinion, Alito holds -the 9C was wrong to find that a man condemned to death suffered ineffective assistance of council. All 3 liberals dissent."

Sotomayor & Kagan, accuse Alito of improperly "reweighing" complex evidence -a record that spans 1000s of pages +incl. many contested allegations -mirrors Kagan's claim last week -Alito improperly overruled complex factual findings by the dist. ct."

The "axis of evil" expands🚨:

Musk & Trump's ties are deepening. They've discussed a possible advisor role for Musk should Trump win the pres. election. Musk & N Peltz have briefed Trump on a data-driven voter fraud project & anti-Biden efforts.

They discussed ways to give Musk formal input & influence over policies related to border security & the economy (Musk has no expertise in...), both issues on which Musk has grown more vocal.

#TFG, if elected (thru #Project2025), promises to end real #Medicare immediately.

Privatization gravy train: INSUR giants use some of that MDCR Advantage$ (ripped off our tax$ last year by an est. $140B over & above what it would’ve caused us if ppl had simply been on real MDCR) to buy legislators & some of it for expensive ads to dupe seniors into joining their programs.

Traditional MDCR: serving Americans well since 1965 -but nobody was making$ off it. #GOPCorruption https://hartmannreport.com/p/medicare-advantage-why-are-we-paying-a86

Pioneer CEO Scott Sheffield, founder & CEO of TX oil producer Pioneer Natural Resources, attempted to collude with OPEC & its allies to inflate oil prices, fed regulators alleged.
-reported on 5/2/24

🚨"Sheffield claims Blackrock, TIAA, & Fidelity were coordinating oil production cuts across the IDU."

FTC CHM said Sheffield couldn't be on Exxon's BoD bc he colluded to⬆️gas prices.

Republicans can no longer lie about the US economy bc it's going gangbusters & Americans are feeling it:

"The US is growing above trend .. wages are growing faster than the rest of the inflation basket, so real disposable income is rising .. alongside this is a MASSIVE wealth effect from the stock market & the housing market .. &, all of this comes on top of healthy HH balance sheets. .. US consumption is more durable than the bears believe."
